MICHAEL P

July 2017

This is not a hotel, it's student accommodation with a canteen for breakfast.

This accommodation was the most expensive and worst accommodation in our wonderful 3 week holiday in Scotland.

All our other accommodation were hotels or B&Bs, but were cheaper and far better than Pollock Halls. I did not know this would be ‘student accommodation’ with a canteen for breakfast where you have to clean up after you. Complaints:

1. We had to change rooms due to a faulty WC. I had informed the cleaning staff who looked at the WC and told me it was normal. After flushing many times, I concluded it could not possibly be normal. 2. After moving all our luggage to another room, the WC worked better but did not evacuate fully. There is a notice is every bathroom that one should flush a second time. However it takes a long time for the cistern to fill and the second flush is even weaker than the first. Result: Having to flush repeatedly is like being in a hotel room from hell. 3. After 2 nights, the access card to the building and to the room no longer worked. [Other things did not work, like the desk light and the bathroom pedal bin, and the window did not close, but never mind]. 4. As for the room cleaning, they don't bother to make up the bed properly or change the sheets. They just flip the cover back on the bed. No wonder the fitted sheet came off in the middle of the night. I asked for the sheets to be changed after 2 nights and it was not done. I had to waste further time to get it done.
